Encountering Henri Nouwen with Stephen Lazarus

We enjoyed this fabulous conversation with Stephen Lazarus! Stephen is the Literary Manager for the Henri Nouwen Legacy Trust and the editor of Encountering Henri: The Living Legacy of Henri Nouwen. We visit about how earnestly and honestly Henri Nouwen lived his life and how impactful and invitational his way of being was. We invite you to live fully and in the spirit of Henri today and everyday! “It is by being awake to God in us that we can increasingly see God in the world around us.” Show NotesEncountering Henri: The Living Legacy of Henri Nouwen Cardus NexGen programHenry Nouwen Legacy TrustComment MagazineRobert and Margaret Jonas - Reviving CreationSubstackCheck out Jenny's weekly reflection on the episode on our Substack.Key TopicsHenry Nowen's impact on spiritual lifeThe concept of woundedness and healingDivine invitations and unexpected encountersHenry Nowen's influence on peacemaking and justiceThe importance of authentic identity in faithChapters00:30 The Poetic Introduction to Love02:38 Introducing Stephen Lazarus and His Journey04:37 Encountering Henry Nowen: A Personal Connection08:06 Who Was Henry Nowen?10:04 The Humanity of Henry Nowen16:00 Divine Invitations Through Henry's Work20:47 The Communion of Saints and Connection to Ancestors24:13 Contemplating Memories of Henry28:47 Surprising Stories from the Book30:37 Embracing Our Imperfections34:25 Awakening to the Divine34:59 The Meandering Path to Home39:21 Engaging with the Common Good43:55 Wounded vs. Broken: A Theological Perspective49:03 Finding Identity in a Polarized World
